I will say.. Playing with these d3 folks has been fun. Seeing people come together from all over OD to play the new reset is beautiful to see :). Perhaps its time to settle into a division again for a little bit.

The way it is being handled now is fine, but to have it pushed upon me and be blessed with so much negativity when I said I was during finals and didn't have a lot of time.. and was essentially forced to find the time immediately (thank god I didn't fail those finals being as I pushed off study time, and I was graduating.. but), that is the problem. These things should have been discussed as they were happening - and this is the same for problems that concern other members too rather than having it hidden in conversations that we cannot partake in or even provide defense. The way social media is being run (with a team) was what I intended on doing regardless, but being forced into it without any reasoning as to why other people were coming in to "help" from the upper positions and being thrown into it without explanation until after the fact is poor leadership and communication. That was/is my problem and I bring this up so this doesn't happen to some other poor soul in the future.
The communication topic can go both ways - and I feel that is important to be noted, especially when it involves topics that one doesn't realize were such a big deal to everyone. I can communicate all I want, but there will still people discussed anger towards me that I will never be aware of for my actions/leadership as it will never be discussed with me and hasn't been discussed with me until I bring it up that it seems I am having a lot of pushback. That is problematic.
I will send a PM regarding this.

Ah, sorry @Terra, I missed it as it wasn't quoted and I didn't receive a notification from it (all I saw was the back and forth between ya'll on here.. I had to do some searching to even find my post to begin with...)
To clarify, I have gone to at least two other generals and there seemingly has been nothing quantified from it (especially when the issue involves promotions and reasoning.. and when other's get punished for falsities being posted on promotions and nothing happens here.. my faith is lackluster in leadership currently). I have also sent another message to said general in question and am still waiting to see if they are going to ignore me (especially when what was said was a straight up lie, it's been nearly a month since the original PM). To further clarify, this situation has been fully elaborated to the general in question, and to the other two I asked about - so lack of elaboration is not the issue here unless I need to find more creative ways to do it.
Outside of an issue with a general holding some sort of grudge to the point where falsities are being said, there is also the lack of communication when problems arise in general. It's fun hearing about how unhappy people were with the social media escapade (that I was planning to work on regardless after I graduated and had time to breathe, which I had mentioned many times), but never once was actually contacted via PM or anything regarding such conversation. It wasn't until I was essentially told what I needed to do (mind you, I'm still moderately unhappy about that), that it became increasingly aware that people were pissy at me for reasons that should have been communicated to me. Much like you consistently tell me, I'm not a mind reader either.. nor is anyone in this community. Communication is lacking.

Hellur.. it's been a little bit since I've posted one of these, but a fun situation in the Plains is looking to unfold! There is currently an Enhanced risk out for today across the central plains (mostly the KS, OK, TX, LA, AR regions) with the main "risks" being wind and hail - isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out of course. I can't provide much.. lead time per say, as this is a currently unfolding event. What is more interested is the 3-day lead time for a Moderate risk (2nd highest given by the Storm Prediction Center), which could potentially become the first High risk (highest given by the SPC) of the season.
Current Risk for Today:
Current Forecast Risk for Monday:
The Setup for Monday:
Currently, the SPC is outlining a risk for all severe hazards (damaging winds, large hail, and significant tornadoes). A dryline is expected to setup, where much of the storm activity will begin popping up ahead of that drying (supercellular activity). On Monday, forecast dewpoints are above 60degF, with a maximum above 70degF. The shear is looking.. beautiful, for tornadic supercells as there is a low-level jet stream over the area and largely increasing wind speed as you move up through the atmosphere. Winds from the southeast indicate a pulling of moisture from the Gulf, which is bringing in that moisture (hence the high dewpoints).
This is all still a little bit out, but it's important to at least be aware of it! Timeline for initiation is during the afternoon and into the overnight hours from Monday into Tuesday. I'll feel more comfortable showing model data after tomorrow, so I will update then.
If you have any questions - please ask 🙂

It's not really a question per say.. but more so an issue of concern. It seems that we are consistently told that we are able to go to Generals+ with problems and things of that nature.. What do we do should they not respond? I know that I am personally trying to figure out why things are being said about me that are lies (to the point where they are used against me), and when I try to reach out to those people - I'm met with a wall.
Overall, my main concern is the immense amount of lack of communication. There are people within the higher ranks who have plenty to say behind closed doors but won't actually come and communicate with the people they are unhappy with - I'm still waiting for my communication from many a people.
